Spoiler Slayer

We have spoilage from MBTV, similar to the previous press-releases by UPN. Based on the accuracy for 'Tabula Rasa' and 'Smashed', I'm going to give these a 'Likely' to begin with.

BUFFY AND SPIKE FACE THE MORNING AFTER WHILE WILLOW TURNS DANGEROUSLY TO BLACK MAGIC ON "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER" AIRING TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27 (8:00-9:00 P.M., ET/PT)

"Wrecked" - Buffy becomes so intent on fighting her attraction to Spike that she fails to recognize Willow's descent into magical addiction and the dangerous situation it creates for Dawn, on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" airing on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT).

Guest starring are Elizabeth Anne Allen ("Bull") as Amy, Jeff Kober as Rack and Fleming Brooks as Mandraz. The episode was written by Marti Noxon and directed by David Solomon.

You'll also notice further up in this same thread, this information. It was posted by Wendy from BAPS, however she was doing it for someone else and does not want to take responsibility for their accuracy.

Ep. Titles

I've been told some 'working' titles for episodes - so quite possibly won't be accurate, but may be interesting if only for speculation purposes.

12 - "The Weak, The Strong" - nope, I don't get it either.
13 - "Best Served Cold" - sounds a bit dodgy for an actual ep. title, but could fit in with the D'Hoffryn theories about "Kiss of the Dragon" (as in revenge is a...)?
14 - "Past Tense" - no idea why, or at the moment any theories why either. Or, "QEF", which I'm guessing is the latin quod erat faciendum, that which was to be done(translation?).

From what I've heard, ep.13 (and maybe one either side) is likely to be Tara-centric, so perhaps it'll be her seeking D'Hoffryn, and not Willow.

Also on Fanforum (busy night), Jen answered some specific questions.

Do you know if Willow does indeed harm Dawn? Yes. Is Spike's chip still working? I have no idea. Is Tara already gone? I'm assuming. Is this why Buffy kicks Willow out of the house? I think Buffy kicks Willow out of the house before this happens. Does Dawn get really hurt? Does Dawn die? Please say no!! I'll say "no" if it'll make you happy.

Since it's Friday night, I'm not going to update the Spoiler Slayer page until tomorrow morning (I still have Law & Order and Invader Zim and other things that I really want to watch tonight, plus there are things I want to talk about of a non-Buffy nature before I shutdown the computer). But I do want to throw a couple things into the fire.

First, the 'Wrecked' description sounds right. I'll be able to run with it officially early next week. As for the other episode titles, I'm kind of torn right now. I think that after getting burned with 'Killing Chronos' and 'Asylum', I'm going to get a bit more critical (plus the entire working title thing bugs me) and say only 'Possible' right now (leaning toward 'Unlikely'). As for what Jen has to say, well she hasn't been wrong yet, but she is working off bits of script. It could be open to interpretation. However, I do feel that there will be a Tara episode at some point this season (Every season always seems to have a character-centric episode, usually Xander, but I think Tara is going to fall into this category as well). But I'm beginning to think the entire D'Hoffryn thread is iffy. The problem is that every season, you seem to get the spoilers that D'Hoffryn is going to appear (I think that there was even one going around last year about someone seeing him on set in makeup). I think you also have to find out who might fall into the category of being a Vengeance Demon, and I just don't see that as Tara. Now Amy, there's someone who would make a superb Vengeance Demon. But more on this tomorrow, Gir awaits.
